HISTORY: Jaraschinas Ranch was founded in 1880 on the north part of
Porciones 73,74 and 75 by Tomas Salinas Sr. (1820-1899) of Camargo and his
wife Manuela Perez. Originally, it was an Old Salt Trail camp
around a natural pothole; ruts are still visible. The ranchers raised sheep
and goats, produced cotton, grain and vegetables by dryland
farming, and hauled mesquite wood to Sam Fordyce woodyard for the
steamboats. Later Brahma Cross , Santa Gertrudis and Indu Brasil
cattle were added. 700 cleared acres have reverted to brushland,
which was leased for hunting until 1980, and is now retained for family use. Tomas
Salinas established the cemetery about 1885 at the death of his son
Pedro;Tomas is buried in Rio Grande City. Cemetery is maintained by
family.
